My brother is autistic and for whatever reason he has always been really into cologne and body sprays. He is 40 now, a bit older than me and understands restraint a bit but if left unchecked I could see him absolutely doing something like this. He's generally very health conscious, though. Sometimes my parents would make him get rid of his excess clothes would go rescue them from the garbage secretly and hide them somewhere until they got mildewy, but after we explained to him that mold can make you sick, he started finding more creative ways to hide stuff my parents tried to make him get rid of.
